    • Ni-Vanuatu people are very polite. They are forever thanking each other and greeting each other, even when they drive down the road the wave at each other and beep to say hello! i realised how rude Australians are and how we never really say thanks and please unless we feel we have to, so make an effort to be polite to them because they really are lovely and its considered rude if you don't.
    Tankyu Tumas means thanks very much and they're forever saying it...
    just adds to the wonderful local vibe of the people and the place! you'll be surprised how polite you are to everyone when you get back :)
